I love Bear, he's great, but in the world of badass survivalists, Survivorman takes the cake. Bear is much more entertaining to watch, but he has a camera crew. Survivorman walks around with his own cameras.

If there is a clip of him climbing down a cliff from the bottom of the cliff, that means dude climbed down, set up the camera, climbed BACK UP, then down again. Now THAT is badass.

Not sure where people get the idea that Bear's show is about surviving. Survivorman = clearly a show about survival. Man vs. Wild = a show about falcon punching mother nature. Les Stroud is a full-grown man, no doubt, but Bear would be a welcome addition to any party stranded in the backcountry.
